Chapter 154 Setting off

The Annual Outdoor Training Event.

It's an event where a group of students must escort a teacher from another class to the town of Guratol in the south. After that, they must explore some caves on the outskirts of town and their progress will be graded by said teacher.

I am going to look after Jeff's A Class and Tiss is going to look after my S Class.

And that event is currently starting now.

It's been a day since I gave the kids their gear. We went outside yesterday and tested them and they love it. The generated clothes and weapons are high-quality stuff, both inscribed with runes. Furthermore, they modified themselves on the fly to better suit the kids better.

Currently, we are outside again. This time, we're not alone.

There are a total of 5 groups with us. Each group has 5 students from each class from A Class to E Class. Along with those students, the teachers of those classes are here too.

In total, including the S Class and myself, there are a total of 6 groups participating and 6 teachers who will be grading them.

Rimuru- "Right, so did you choose the path you'll take?"

Alice- "The shortest path, obviously!"

The other students nod their heads from beside her as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.

Well, it was actually pretty obvious, I didn't need to ask…

Jeff- "Rimuru-sensei."

Jeff appears omae wa mou shinderu style behind me causing me to jump.

Rimuru- "Holy Jesus when did you get there!?"

Why does [Universal Sense] not do anything at moments like these!?

Jeff- "I've been here for the past five minutes."

Jeff says as he pushes his glasses up, doing that "glasses shine" that happens in anime.

(A/N: He's mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still that he becomes invisible to the naked eye… and other OP sensing skills.)

God, I have to learn how to do that…

Jeff- "I must warn you to not cause any trouble when you reach the town of Guratol. The Count overseeing the area lives in that town and his wife is currently sick."

Jeff is a bit unlike himself. His expression is one of worry instead of that "I'm better than you" look he always had on his face.

Illya- 'Onii-chan, judging from his actions, the wife must be related to Jeff in some way.'

Illya contacts me through [Thought Communication] after guessing what was going through my mind.

*Gasp!*

Scandalous!

Rimuru- 'You're saying that the woman and Jeff here had a relationship!? And then the Count came and swept her away, but Jeff just couldn't bear to stop loving her!?'

Illya- '… No… I was suggesting that they might be siblings, or related through blood in some other way…'

Oh, is that all…

Jeff- "So with that, with my A Class, you will be arriving there first, so please do mind yourself!"

Oh, his smug attitude is back.

Rimuru- "Yeah yeah, I got it."

I wave my hand dismissively but my gesture flies right over his head as he walks away with his head thrown back, shining his glasses like a fucking lighthouse.

I turn towards my students.

Rimuru- "So with that, you guys HAVE to get there first! Wipe that smug smile off his face!"

Students- "Ooh!"

With their fighting spirit burning, I feel assured that they will get first place.

I raised them so well…

Oh, and Illya will be following them. As much as I want her by my side, I think it's better for her if she hangs out with her friends. Besides, with Yuuki's influence, she can slip in easily and make it a 6 man group, saying it's a handicap since this is their first time.

I turn around and start walking to the A Class I'll be supervising.

There are three girls and two boys in the group. I don't know if the original author hated them somehow, but the boys had a face only a mother could love. Meanwhile, the girls are pretty cute.

Of course, they're nowhere near Chloe, Alice and Illya.

Rimuru- "Right, introductions! My name is Rimuru, the teacher of the S Class. Nice to meet you."

With a quick introduction, the rest of the kids follow up.

Anne- "I'm Anne!"

Anne is a girl who seems to be the leader. She has thick maroon red hair that reaches her shoulders and blue eyes with a little ponytail off to the side of her head.

Ukya- "I'm Ukya!"

He's a boy. He has a rectangular head and short brown hair with small eyes. There's… not much else to say.

Elizabeth- "I'm Elizabeth!"

She has hair that looks a lot like Silica from SAO and she has forest green eyes.

Illory- "Illory…"

Illory has pale pink hair in a bob cut style with deep blue eyes. She's also the shortest of the group.

Oloy- "I'm Oloy!"

Oloy looks like he has his hair cut by a three-year-old, it's so choppy. His black hair is covering one of his eyes which are also small.

See what I mean? It's as if the original author hates males. *Sigh* A shame. It seems he does not follow Kazuma's teachings…

Rimuru- "Well, I'll only be with you for a little while and there's a good chance we'll never see each other again, but for now, I'll be in your care."

I say with a smile.

Students- "Yes, Rimuru-sensei!"

Rimuru- "Oh, and apparently, you shouldn't call me "sensei". During the event, I'm your escort target, so call me Rimuru-san instead, okay? Not that I really care…"

Anne- "Rodger! Right guys, let's start preparing!"

And with Anne's suggestion, the kids ran off to one of the carriages nearby and started doing stuff.

I have no clue what stuff it is though. Most likely some kind of poor thing that I'm too rich to understand.

I'm joking.

Each group has their own carriage to use for the journey. These carriages are supplied by the teachers because it's not like kids could gather enough money for one of their own.

Of course, I gave a "carriage" to my kids in the S Class as well. It's just that…

Kenya- "Why is an RV here!?"

Yeah, I gave them a camping car. It's a big bus type one that would cost several hundred thousand dollars back on Earth, if not, a couple million. Adding the fact that the whole thing runs off an arc reactor…

[Ahura Mazda] for the win. Enjoy the ride, kids.

Meanwhile, Tiss, the teacher looking over the S Class for the event, had a brain malfunction looking at the vehicle.

Tiss- "What the fu-!"

Rimuru- "LANGUAGE!"
